Interesting outcome. Does that mean I don't have to mention it at if
it's included in a GPLv2 package?

As a footnote, Werner Lemberg asked Eddie Kohler a while back to
remove his (that is Eddie's) changes from the file because of the "No
modification, editing or other alteration of this document is allowed"
clause in the license. They, meaning Adobe, seem to contradict
themselves later on with:
# Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a
# copy of this documentation file, to create their own derivative works
# from the content of this document to use, copy, publish, distribute,
# sublicense, and/or sell the derivative works, and to permit others to do
# the same, provided that the derived work is not represented as being a
# copy or version of this document.
which allows modifications as long as you don't attribute them to
Adobe. So Eddie can change it, but has to call it "Eddie's glyph
list". LOL.
